The hummingbird, a power animal indicative of strong sensibility

By association with the hummingbird power animal, you may have already developed a strong adaptability and are typically quick to respond to any demand. You may also have a high sensibility and feel every nuances of emotions or movement in your environment.

Brought to the extreme, this ability may lead you to emotional instability as you shift rapidly from one feeling or mood to another without warning.

About two years ago a hummingbird decided to build her little nest outside one of my windows at home where she had her two babies and nurtured them until they were grown, I watched them all summer and my company always got a kick out of them always telling me how cool and neat that was. Her little nest stayed for a long time almost to winters completion And of course I awaited her return and she never returned maybe because her little home did not survive the winter. But through out the summer there were a lot of hummingbirds I seen a lot and I wondered if any of them were her and that she decided to build her home somewhere else close by? When summer was close to the end I found myself in a most difficult period in my life that has led me into a journey of finding my self and sole purpose. for awhile now I’ve been wanting to know what my spirit animal was and so wanting it to be an Eagle (for so many reasons) But about a couple months back I had a dream . There was a single huge tree not sure what type but it was also in summer and nice and full of big green leaves. I stood under it and right on the other side of the tree was a little I would say three foot rickety old wooden fence. Next thing I know a hummingbird is pecking me on my neck, I wasn’t afraid I cupped my hands together not to catch it but to help lift it up into the air for it to fly to which it did and then a loud train whistle blew although I didn’t see the train saying to myself in my dream “I live her” any help concerning this dream would so be helpful.

I have been very challenged over the past several years and growing my business and my new desired direction. Most recently,my life has been particularly challenging in love and in work. I am so ready for doors to open and to finally be able to put the jigsaw pieces of my life back together. Yesterday, I awoke to a hummingbird barely clinging to life on the ground under my feeder on my patio. I went out to him wondering if he was even alive and scooped him onto a towel and into a beautiful wooden bowl. I moved him out into the sunshine and sat with him during hands on healing and Ricci for about 45 minutes. He looked at me and blinked frequently but the only thing moving on his entire body with his little heartbeat. I continue to work with him until I had to take my sister to the airport. Upon getting ready to leave I shut my eyes and walked over to him expecting him to have passed on to the next level. Lo and behold when I opened my eyes he was gone. I went inside to get a couple of things I had forgotten and there was “Precious”, as I had named him or her, feeding from the feeder and looking at me through the living room window. I told my story to a friend of mine who was certain that my new animal guide was this hummingbird and shared this site with me. I resonate with everything it says and I’m so excited for new doors to begin opening. I am ready, I am willing, I surrender And feel blessed to have this beautiful guide assisting in watching over me. Much love to all who read this.

I have four feeders on my balcony. My day starts with my hummers as they come for their morning feeding and it ends with the last evening feeding. I love these birds. They do comfort me. One is special to me. I feel he was sent here to look after me. He’s very territorial and chases the others off.

Last week at was at my grandparent’s house and I was sitting on the porch and a hummingbird came out of a tree and was right in front of me. He was like 30cm from my face. it stayed there for like 2 minutes but left when the front door opened.
